Photon‐Counting Detector CT Versus Conventional CT for Low‐Dose Chest Imaging: A Reader Preference Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Photon‐counting detector CT (PCD‐CT) is a technology that directly counts individual photons and their energy, compared to conventional energy‐integrating detector CT (EID‐CT) which measures the total deposited X‐ray energy without distinguishing photon energies.

Epidemiological and Prognostic Differences in Malignant Mesothelioma Between Eastern China and SEER Database

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
For long years, patients and clinicians in Eastern China used Western data as information foundation for management and treatment of malignant mesothelioma, due to its rarity and lack of deep investigation. This study updated the epidemiological data of malignant mesothelioma in Eastern China, and revealed better survival outcomes compared to Western ...

Are respiratory physicians adherent to guidelines when evaluating pulmonary nodules?

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Although fewer than 1% of pulmonary nodules are malignant, appropriate evaluation is essential in optimising patient outcomes. The 2017 Fleischner Society Guidelines provide recommendations on management of incidentally detected nodules; however, studies to date have shown variable guideline adherence.

The “Trojan Horse” Approach to Tumor Immunotherapy: Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment

Journal of Immunology Research, 2014
Most anticancer therapies including immunotherapies are given systemically; yet therapies given directly into tumors may be more effective, particularly those that overcome natural suppressive factors in the tumor microenvironment.

Asbestos-related Lung Diseases: A Brief Update

The Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, 2022
Health risks from asbestos exposures have been evaluated, considering past professional histories when exposures at workplaces were higher than today. A linear no-threshold (LNT) model has been applied, although its relevance is unproven.

Identification of Crucial Drug Targets and Pathways to Reprogram Drug Resistance Through Epigenetic Modulation in Advanced Lung Cancer Using Integrated Bioinformatics Approach

Computational and Systems Oncology, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Resistance to chemotherapy, which is demonstrated in almost every patient with advanced‐stage lung cancer (ALC), underscores an urgent need to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms and identify novel strategies to overcome drug resistance. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify epigenetic targets and modulators that can be
